Lund 1875 Pro-V Bass Boat - 18.75ft aluminum V-Hull bass boat with a 200HP Mercury V8 4 stroke. Pluses IPS2 Hull Design, Max Motor HP / larger gas tank, allows me to cover bigger inland northern Michigan lakes safely and in a timely manner. There is ample deck & interior space for my gear. I am able to launch & recover this rig easily solo; with or without a dock, as well as store it in my garage. Bonus: Very happy with the trolling motor batteries location deep/centerline of the hull. Minuses Grind my teeth at little at the pump, but that's the way that deal goes. Wish the front deck was 'padded'. The Black hull is a major water spot magnet on hot summer days. Fish Hard A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Because your casting accuracy is questionable ~ A-Jay

A-Jay

Yup ~ Rock'in the Crocs ! Sweet A-Jay

Workout Day 1 this morning. I was able to bring a little more intensity to this one. Completed 3 working sets, showing the last two here. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Noon time on day 1 of the Classic and Jay Przekurat is leading with 5 for 14 - 8. It's almost like a regular bass tournament. Who knew ? A-Jay

Nice fish my friend. Knew it was only a matter of (the right) Time. Congrats A-Jay

Hello Daniel and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Pretty sure there's at least a few legal issues involved in your scheme. Might want to check with State food retail officials as well as the MA DNR. Not sure what the ZipRecruiter is documenting, but I'm betting the BASS Fisherman income noted is not from the sale of Bass to the local fish market. Do you buy freshwater bass to eat in Massachusetts ? A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Congrats ~ Wish the coverage was better. Looking forward to the awards ceremony. A-Jay

IMO, and I know we've talked about this at least once already, when it comes to aluminum bass rigs, there's the Pro-V Bass and then there's everything else. The 25 inch transom is a game changer. A quick search shows that 2017 used Pro-V bass rigs with a 200 hp motor are still going for 45K. Which is cool, but add a few more bucks and you get a rig where you KNOW ALL the History with. Because you make it. Why settle on a lesser rig to save a few bucks. Get what you want; something that will perform when & where you need it to. You deserve it. Life is short. Good Luck A-Jay btw- my rig is going on season 8 and still running strong.

Nine of the top Ten anglers in this event have 'multiple' sponsors. Guess who's flying solo . . . A-Jay

LOL ~ 🤓 @Bluebasser86 needs a few of upgrades. Someone call @ol'crickety and have her send him a couple . . . . A-Jay

Glad your Mom's OK A-Jay

Now THAT looks like the winner to me. It's all about attitude. A-Jay

Plenty of excellent nuggets already in this one. I'm throwing at smallies most of the time. Burning a compact bait just under the surface is one of my favorite ways to do it. This is a mod as I'm not building these baits. A while a go I started adding weight to the hook shank. By simply spinning on length of wire solder onto the baits hook shank, centered & balanced weight can be effectively added to any bait. How much weight will depend on the length, type & size (gauge) wire solder selected. This can easily be done by hand and a drop of Super glue at each end will help keep it there. Any spinnerbait is a candidate if you want to add weight to, not for just burning, as it’s quite applicable for deep water applications as well. Longer casts is a bonus benefit which in the longer run I can cover more water and stay 'off' the fish' more. A-Jay

5 inches over this way with zero degrees wind chill. Bummer. A-Jay

Great Job ~ Tomorrow's another day. #represent A-Jay

Does it look deflated ? 🤓 A-Jay

You better be sending me some warm weather after this . . . That's the 2.75 inch TOUCHDOWN https://xzonelures.com/products/x-tube-2-75-9-pack?variant=43984912646461 A-Jay

@Hammer 4 THANK YOU for your support, I really appreciate it. Hope you & Dee are managing OK. Workout Day 5 this morning. Graduated to the long bar for my rows. Affords an option for more resistance. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Are tubes still a thing ? I certainly hope so . . . . A-Jay

Situational Awareness is a life style. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. An average basshead fishing on an above average body of water, can suddenly become very skilled. Nothing trumps being at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing; sometimes that's just pure luck, other times, it's by design. I'm a big fan of both of those. A-Jay
